Just the video I was looking for! You did a great job of pointing out what parts wear out. I'm about to remove the transaxle in my mower due to grinding noises. I found that the shift pin that has the ball detent doesn't fully engage sometimes and it appears that I might have some ground up parts in there. I'll find out tomorrow what the damage is. Thank you for providing this video.

thanks for making this video. I'd like to fill you in on the battery truth and myth as far as putting on concrete. a very long time ago, battery housings were made from natural rubbers and other materials that would allow a slow leech to ground if placed on earth/concrete. modern batteries do not have this problem so you can place it on whatever you please. the exception to this is that if your battery is dirty enough, a weak path could exist from the terminal across the dirt on the surface of the battery case to ground, as well is across the dirt on the battery from terminal to terminal which would drain the battery no matter where it is stored.

Yes this reply is years late. Yes I would agree with what you said about batteries in your post

My 06 Super Bronco has been slipping in forward for years, but on rare occasions. After dedicating it to a 42" snow blower the forward gearing went out. I replaced all of the belts on the tractor and it would rotate the tires forward while jacked up off of the ground. When I placed it back on the ground it would not move forward and was making a loud racket but reverse still worked perfectly. I took apart the axle and everything looked fine while covered in a thick layer of grease so I started looking at videos and found this one. The diff works fine so I will have to take a closer look tomorrow at the drive shaft assembly. After watching this video I am certain that is the issue.

Pressure washing or spray some grease remover on it and wash it down with a garden hose or just wipe it down with some old rags and a few paper towels. I pressure washed the axle before I started working on it. after I had removed it and pulled it apart I placed the whole thing in a drum and did a fast pressure wash in the guts of it ( but be careful because the water with splash back at you while doing it this way so wear protection. ) there are lots of way but just make sure you clean out ALL the gears because just one old metal chunk can cause problem if you don't. Now another way has a risk of fire and such, and that would be to use gasoline and a paint brush, but be careful because just one spark and there you have the recipe for a bad day. There are other solvents you can get at the parts store that will do the same job as gasoline so you would be better to find some of that and use it if you choose this course

that sound more like the outside bushings are broke off or wore down. Notice when I remove the tire/ rim at 3:20 that there is a black bushing left on the axle right behind where the rim was? that can break off or where down. so you need to check to see how much of the movement is the axle or is it play in the gap from the rim to the bushing

ok mine is a bit different it has 1 gear and the reverse is thru a chain. it has pins for the dogs and they are all good it still pops out of gear no matter where i adjust the shifter. so i'm going to modify the linkage and move the hole out from the pivot. plus i checked the bushings they were good i greased the vari drive slack sheaves and i still have the whine so it must be just part on the system. if the mod to the pivot linkage works i will come back and say it did.

Good video. But the camera placement wasn't ideal. A tripod with a gooseneck would allow for better placement. Great information though. I have a problem on my breaks where the rotor isn't spinning. I was hoping the teeth in the rotor stripped. But no suck luck. The tractor runs great forward and reverse. Will climb up a barn door if I wanted.

What can it depend on? Thanks Marc

Good chance that is wear on your forward side of the gears. the gears can wear / or chip on one side and still be in good shape on the other. If that is the case then what is in this video will fix the problem. Now there is a chance that you could just add a small bushing behind the gear and stop the problem ( if no chips are on the gear ) but this would just be a patch and not fix the real problem.

Great video! What was the first thing you removed? You went back at 1:00 -1:20 to show us the pulleys I can only assume you were removing one of them. I have one of these mowers, a 2007 Troy Bilt Super Bronco with a single-speed transaxle. It works great as I have been very methodical about maintenance. That being said I do have a concern. When in forward gear mine makes a whining noise and the faster I go the louder it gets. There are no grinding noises, no jumps, jerks or other problems. Any suggestions? I have a newer Toro ZTR and plan to sell my Troy Bilt, but I want it to reliable for the buyer.

I could list lots of things that it could be, but they all hide inside of the trans-axle so you would need to pull it a part anyway. as for the break being a problem there is little chance of that because they are so weak. but you can test it by lifting one wheel off the ground then supporting the mower and then trying to turn the brake rotor on the side of the trans-axle ( with the engine off )

Warning no matter how you clean the part be careful of anything that can cause a fire. so read the container an avoid sparks of any kind. You can use 1-a parts washer. 2 - de-greaser spray. 3- go-jo and an old toothbrush ( do not use on teeth after ). 4- carburetor cleaner. 5- Dawn foaming spray. 6- Steam cleaner ( the large type that would be used to clean things like heavy equipment. but the parts would need to be secured down and you would need to have eye and body protection to keep the junk from getting all over you from splash-back ) 7- old rag and a lot of time. I left out the cleaning for sake of time in the video. but the fixing part was in the video.

I did seem the shifter was a little bent. Straitened on gears looked ok. I cleaned and 00 greased the whole transaxle. The issue is still won’t stop so the break shoes are next…..but when I put it in Neutral it won’t shift eg in Forward gear when shifted to Neutral it keeps going Forward and won’t stop have to shift to Reverse to stop. When in Reverse shift to Neutral it keeps going in Rev then have to shift to Forward to stop but it takes off Forward. I’ve adjusted to shift lever helping some but not fixing it. I’m guessing the issue is in the Fwd and Rev gear possible the Gear that runs between them and the lever too. What do you think. It also really hard to shift.

( do not use vice grip and hold the pulley biting the top and bottom flange at the same time as that will just crush the metal of the pulley into the 'V' of where the belt rides. )

(Part 3) TUFF TORQ (Husqvarna) kzread.info/dash/bejne/fIOA07htgdacprw.html lawn mower transmission Gear: Commonly referred to as manual transmissions, this type of mower uses ground speed to shift. The biggest downfall of this kind of transmission is that you’ve got to shut the tractor off to shift into an alternate range. This makes them more difficult to use, when you’ve got lots of landscape characteristics and garden beds to go around. This is a dependable transmission option, offering years of service to you. Friction Disc: When used correctly, it’s a highly dependable transmission. It uses the forward rate of your rider to alter its gear. It’s possible for you to change on-the-go with some versions, but to get the longest lifespan out of your product, most brands recommend you shove down on the clutch or brake pedal, then shifting to the rate you need. Automatic: This is essentially a belt and pulley system, that varies, much like the drive system in a snowmobile. This was initially used in conjunction with John Deere products. These mowers are not designed to pull heavy loads. To drive the tractor, you’ll generally use two levers. Use the F/R lever to to alter the rate you need to go. This is a dependable transmission option that can give you years of service for level yards, and pulling at loads that are really light. CVT/IVT (Always/Infinitely Variable Transmission): MTD have attempted using the IVT Infinitrak, doubled in the Craftsman Revolution and the Cub Cadet. Consumers haven’t typically been prepared to spend the extra cash to possess this kind of transmission, however. These transmissions are certainly simpler to use. Whether or not they are fender-mounted alters the rate and direction. Hydrostatic: Hydrostatic transmissions are more costly than mechanical transmissions, but they’re easier to use and can carry greater torque to the wheels, when compared with an average mechanical transmission. Enclosed Double Hydrostatic: A different back wheel is controlled by each trans. This is the main reason why zero-turn mowers are more expensive compared to lawn tractors. Most of these mowers were not designed to pull loads, but simply to tote and mow.

Sound like you have a drive belt that not long enough and the system is staying engaged. ( or the belt has flipped over and now seem larger to the adjustable pulley, either way you would need a new belt ) it could also be that spring you talked about in the other post, if it is not mounted right it could be making the belt be over stressed ( tight )

@fromcarstocomputers7261

10 ай бұрын

Also check the large fan-belt wheel that goes into your transmission ( the main pulley ) and see if it has a lot of wobble back and forth, if it does then chances are the case itself is bad and there is not much that can be done for that ( nothing that would be worth the price of repair )

where did you find the parts for the transmission?

True. It would not be wise to go any higher than I did in this video because then you might have oil seep by your engine rings and fill up your piston area and that could cause a problem when you hit the starter. But if you are worried about this then just remove the spark plug and give the engine a good spin ( crank-over ), and if it has oil in the piston it will spray out ( all over everything in front of it ) then put the spark plug back in, and you are good to go.

Sounds like it is in your trans-axle Differential area ( at 20:25 in this video ) and that's one of the worst things that can go wrong with it. also notice at 19:49 in the video the area I am touching. that feeds the power from the engine to the pulley ( not installed in video ) and the the shaft goes through the case and that can wear out the case itself and cause the shaft to wobble. you can test it by grabbing the pulley and try to move it side to side and feel for extra play. but again this is a very bad problem to have, the right machine shop could re-drill it and put a sleeve in it but at that point it's just better to get another one. Ps make sure your tires are the same size on the rear and that they have proper pressure as well, this will not fix any damage but it will take some stress off the system. it has been a while but it seems like a new rear end like these will cost about 500 hundred dollars . Now with that said there is a chance that you are having the same problem that is in this video and it is only showing up while you are turning because the stress changes just enough to trip the problem. I say just pull it apart / clean it up and give it a good look.. good chance you will see the problem that is the good thing about these system. ( you can check the shaft wobble without removing the drive-train just remove the belt and rock the pulley back and forth. ( speaking of belts... make sure they are not slipping and causing problems ) If it was me and it had housing damage I would just write it off

Why remove the deck and tranny smart way to do it

@fromcarstocomputers7261

5 жыл бұрын

Most of my videos show the basic way of doing a project. Some people don't have Jack stands, but there is a good chance they have a strap or even a rope or chain. But it would not be easier to remove the deck and use Jack stands. The mower can get bumped and slip off of Jack stands very easy, and since you took the time to remove the deck, you would not even have that to keep the thing from smashing down on you. The way I did it in the video looks strange, but even if you kicked it sideways, it would still be hanging on the strap. And even if it did fall it would land on the tires that have more grip than the metal Jacks so this way is faster, safer and cheaper.. but it does not look like the basic shop school way. (and I don't mean that to sound like an insult because it is not. I am just pointing out why the way I do it in the video looks off to some people. ) Now with that said I want people out there to know that the Jack stand way he talks about is the more standard way it can be used as well. Just make sure there is no danger of someone bumping into the mower while it is on Jack stands and that you do not pull too hard on the mower ( as in pulling to loosen a bolt ) while it is on Jack stands or you might end up in the E.R Room.

It looks like he knows what he's doing, but it's too bad he can't convey that in a video.

I would just toss an old camera around the area and shoot. but I have been noticing that I need to show more and have better lighting, so I will stage my shots better and soon I will purchase a better camera for these videos ( I have a blackmagic pocket 4k but it has no real focus and would not be very good in this environment ) I will also be working a some intros to the page as well...right now I am trying to decide on a new name for the channel,,, or just keep the one I am using
